My First Turkey Hunt
Location: Polk County, Wisconsin, USA
April 2011
My first turkey was easier than it should have been. I had some great teachers and I discuss some things that a turkey hunter should consider when using calls, decoys, and setting up. As always it was fun and I hope that you can enjoy the adventure along with me.
For those who are interested, you can get your turkey tags through the Game & Fish in most states. Some have over-the-counter (OTC) options but many are by lottery draw only. Visit your local Game and Fish web site for opportunities near you. If you have never been hunting and would like to, first step is to get your Hunter Safety Course finished up. Some states offer a Mentorship as a possibility. Another great option is to contact the First Hunt Foundation. It is a great organization that is to help those interested in learning to hunt. I also highly recommend Volume 1 & 2 of The Complete Guide to Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game books by Steven Rinella. Another outstanding resource is Hank Shaw and his books as well as Hunt Angler Gardener Cook group on Facebook.
I would love to connect with you all at Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube!
Thank you and go live your stories!

Intro Episode So, There I Am...
Stories are my favorite form of communication, and my favorite stories are those that get me to think, cry, laugh, or even change and adapt. A good story stays with you. My father would say, “You only remember the best and the worst, mediocrity is forgotten.”
Stories told well allow a listener to live vicariously, reminisce of past experiences, or even dream of adventures to come. I will be sharing stories with you from my own experiences as a fly-fishing guide, retail manager, outdoor enthusiast, traveler, explorer and just everyday life. There will be stories from guests and stories from friends and others in different locales and varied walks of life. Every day is an opportunity for new adventures and expanding your own story. Let’s get to the stories!
So, there I am...

Stories From My Youth: Part 1
Locations: Japan, Utah, California
Early 1980’s
There are so many crazy and fun stories from my youth that it will take many episodes to get them all recorded. Part 1 includes bike riding after school to fishing spots, dodging traffic for crayfish, fishing off the pier in Yokosuka Japan, my first pheasant hunt, learning how to hunt and stalk mice with a BB gun, and catching my first trout with my father. Many of the small things I did as a youth have helped me to become a better fisher and hunter now that I am aging into the “Old Salt” I look forward to being. As always it was fun, and I hope that you can enjoy the adventure along with me.
